A new update is out for Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. The game's been available for over a month now, but the lack of a dedicated 60 frames-per-second mode on PS5 has been a sticking point for some players. Thankfully, as promised by developer CyberConnect2 before release, a performance mode has been added via this latest patch.
For whatever reason, The Hinokami Chronicles was capped at 30fps on Sony's current-gen console — an undesirable trait for what is essentially a fighting game. This update allows for 60fps during gameplay — but not in cutscenes. Still, it's a big improvement.
The patch also adds two playable characters — the demons Yahaba and Susamaru. Both monsters appear in the game's story mode as boss enemies, but now you can take them for a spin in versus mode.
Have you been waiting for this Demon Slayer update to drop? Enjoy double the frames in the comments section below.

Nice I was, for some reason, not starting the game after buying it last week. Seems like a good time now..
@Longondo 60fps already is standard on PS5. The only games that don’t always get 60fps on release are generally cross gen titles.
Apparently switching to 60 fps completely changes the game, because some of the mechanics are tied to frames. Like - health regeneration is twice as fast when playing in the 60 fps mode. Projectiles reportedly behave differently as well.
And you apparently can't use this mode online because of it.
Grats to the fanbase that demanded this!
